OP I grew up in Brownstown and living in Kildare at the moment.have heard hundreds of stories.because its all anecdotal im not sure if its of much use!The Curragh and Curragh camp would appear to be teaming with ghosts
an earlier poster mentioned the soldier who was in duty in the magazine on the camp,where they store ammunition and weapons.i know him well.he did believe he saw a figure approaching the tower he was stationed at,which is about 20 foot above the ground.from a different source, I heard that the figure was able to rattler the handle of the door from the outside,despite the fact that the outside handle is removed and kept on the soldier for security reasons.he did in fact cock his weapon,and put a round in the chamber,which I suppose is serious enough in army terms.
whats interesting, is that my grandfather told me of an incident that happened at the same spot in the 60's,when he was stationed at the curragh.a man based in said tower,was out approaching the perimeter of the fence.he apparently heard waves and waves of shouting,screaming,clashing, neighing etc!he emtied a full magazine into the darkness in panic.that spot is in the very middle of the gibbet rath, an area where there was a massacre if irish rebels, I think in the late 1700's.you can look up the history online,but whats interesting is the stories that come from the spot.i recall hearing many similar stories of the sounds of battle coming from the area.back in the 80's,my uncle was travelling home to brownstown from kildare town. he reported hearing these same sounds coming from the area.he also mentioned how it seemed to come in waves.prayers have been said at the monument here in recent times, and I personally havnt heard anything since.
another area in the camp where I heard stories from was the fire station.my grandfather again told me of this, a military policeman who was on duty in the night in question told him.they got the story from the injured man after while he recovered in hospital.another man had been working on one of the engines in the lobby of the station.he heard the side door open, and footsteps walk around the engine and start up the stairs.he looked but saw no one, and assumed he had just missed them.some moments later,he heard a scream and the above mentioned injured man came over the banisters and landed on the ground.he later reported feeling a pushing sensation, and coldness , and was then forced over the banisters.other stories are a bit more vague and i cant remember the details.they relate to the golfclub,hospital,Transport yard beside centra, and a house on the terrace beside the grenade range.ill try remember more

Ah the story about the magazine has got around the Curragh, I know the guy too and he ain't a spoofer!!! I knew a family on the Curragh and they were haunted by a ghost of a British Army man-they used to see him quite often.0 -
